“I shall see him, but not now: I
shall behold him, but not nigh: There shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre
shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab,and destroy
all the children of Sheth – (Num.24:17).

“Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east,and are come
to worship him” – (Mt.2:2).

When the Lord Jesus was born in Bethlehem
2000 years ago, His heavenly father proclaimed His birth with a very special
star in the heavens. God lighted up the heaven with the Birthday star of His
beloved Son – He showed Him to be the royal star, the preeminent one, who shall
rule this earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords forever and ever at His
second coming – “And he is the head of
the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the
preeminence” – (Col.1:18). Not just a star, a royal star.

Christ is not just a star, He’s a superstar
– the greatest human superstar that has ever been on planet earth. He’s the
prominent, preeminent one – He’s the Son of God and the Son of Man – the God-Man,
and He alone is the star to be worshipped by man. The same God who created the
stars, created this special birthday star for His only begotten Son. “And God said, let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night: and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. And let them be for lights in
the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And
God made two great lights; the greater light
to rule the day, and the lesser light
to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day
and over the night…” – (Gen.1:14-18). The Christmas star was a heavenly
sign introducing Christ Jesus’s birth.

God didn’t proclaim the birthday of His Son
with puny little candles of light, He displayed it with a special star, that
lighted up the heaven. And like the stars that rule over the earth, Christ the
royal star will one day soon rule over this earth as emperor, not just a king
but a King of Kings. Christ will rule over this earth from Mt. Zion in
Jerusalem as the royal star ,the Son of the Most High, King of the universe –
the King of glory. The Star of Bethlehem was not the star in the sky, but the
Son of God lying in the manger.

I think of all the millions of unsaved,
fallen people who have worshipped the stars of God in astrology, which is
forbidden of God. “And lest thou lift up
thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the
stars, even all the host ofheaven,
shouldest be driven to worship them…” – (Du.4:19). God calls them star
gazers in (Is.47:13) and condemns them.

Fifty five million Americans believe in
astrology and that includes 55% of teens. It’s a 500 million dollar a year
business. The basic idea behind astrology is that the stars influence the affairs
of people and foretell the future. Don’t worship the stars, worship the God who
made the stars. Worship the royal star, the Lord Jesus Christ, God in human
flesh. Astrologer is ten times in the Bible, once in (Is.47) and nine times in
the book of Daniel and every time it deals with Babylon. Astrologers were the
trusted counselors of the king and high up in government and is one of the ways
Satan rules from behind the scenes. Astrology and politics have gone hand in
hand throughout history. And we are Babylon-USA.

In
1998 the headlines read – “secret revealed – astrology is Reagan’s guide.” The
Reagans regularly consulted astrologers who came to the White House before
making important worldwide decisions. Ronald Reagan was a movie star himself
and yet he himself worshipped the stars. Don’t worship the stars – not movie
stars, singing stars, TV stars, sports stars, political stars or religious stars.
“Then God turned, and gave them up to
worship the host of heaven… Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the
star of your God Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will
carry you awaybeyond Babylon” –
(Acts 7:42,43). “Little children, keep
yourselves from idols.”

The Devil is a ‘shooting
star,’ not a true star, but a meteor appearing as a temporary streak of light
across the sky. They are also called ‘falling stars’ because they look like
stars falling from the sky. This piece of stone makes friction with our
atmosphere and it gets so hot it glows with a brilliant light and we can see it
shine as it burns up. This is the kind of stars Satan and his antichrist are –
fake stars, falling stars, that appear for a short time and then burn in the
lake of fire. “And his tail drew the
third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the
dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour
her child as soon as it was born” – (Rev.12:4).

Babylon – USA, in this last century, took
radio stars and put their images on movie screens and made idols of them. Then
came the ‘talkies’ and we had an image that could walk and talk and seemingly
come alive. They became our gods and goddesses and we worshipped them. Next the
devil got his walking-talking images of his stars of TV in homes worldwide. We
are one world under TV and we are idolizing Satan’s stars and their images, we’re
worshiping the host of heaven – hosts are innumerable stars. We worship talk –
show hosts like Johnny Carson, and Oprah Winfrey etc. etc. We have given them a
kind of immortality by watching them on TV and the movies over and over again
long after they’re dead.

Always we see the lure of the image.
Unredeemed, sinful men plus spiritual ignorance tends toward images. When
people reject the Lord Jesus and being born again into a new Holy Spirit
creature, they will naturally turn to image worship as hungry men turn to food.

All of this worldwide worship of Hollywood stars will culminate in the worship of the Beast.
Satan will make his Antichrist the greatest world superstar of all and through
him Satan will be worshipped. He will be the counterfeit of Christ – he will be
the royal star worshipped by a Christ-rejecting world. He will be a king of
Kings, an emperor over the whole earth for a short time of seven years. It will
not be voluntary worship as all will be killed who refuse to worship the Beast
and his image – (Rev.13:15).

Don’t worship the stars of heaven or the
stars of Hollywood. Throw the hypnotic TV out of your home and life.
Turn to the Lord Jesus and repent of your sins and believe in your heart on
Christ and receive forgiveness of sins and become a new creature in Christ with
a new heart. Jesus Christ is God in human flesh – the royal star and the true
and everlasting emperor of planet earth. He said – “I am the root and offspring of David, andthe bright and morning star” – (Rev.22:16). He was born in David’s
hometown of Bethlehem as a Son of David, according to the flesh, with a
special star from God proclaiming His birth. O dear Jewish people, do not
reject the perfect Jew, the Lord Jesus Christ, as your Savior. He is God’s
perfect, supreme, one-time sacrifice for sin. Look at your flag with the Star
of David on it, it points directly to the greatest son of David, the Lord Jesus
– the royal star. Worship Christ, the royal star from Israel.

Through Jesus Christ you can become a star
for God – “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of
the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as thestars for ever and ever” – (Dan.12:3).
Our whole bodies will shine with God’s glory, although not with the glory of
Christ. It is written of Christ as His second coming – “… and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength” –
(Rev.1:16). Christ will be coming back in power and as King of Kings and Lord
and Lords – He will shine as a royal star in all His glory. And those that have
received Him as Savior will shine as lesser stars and we shall be Kings ruling
over this earth as lesser kings. “And
hast made us untoour God kings and
priests: and we shall reign on this earth” – (Rev.5:10). We shall be shining
stars for Christ with a shining new body – earth’s luminaries. “Then shall therighteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father…” –
(Mt.13:43). We shall be royal stars also.

Is God your Abba-Father? Are you born again
into the family of God? Are you a child of the greatest Daddy in the universe?
Is God’s royal star your savior? Repent of your sins and believe on Christ in
your heart by faith in truth and you will receive forgiveness and remission of
sins. The result of being truly saved is becoming a new creature in Christ –
you are born again. Born again describes what happens to you when you’re saved.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is
a new creature: old things are passedaway;
behold, all things are become new” – (2 Cor.5:17). God loves you and sent His
dear Son to earth to be your Savior and shed His precious blood on the cross
for atonement of sins. “In this was
manifested the love of God toward us, because that Godsent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through
him” – (I Jn.4:9). Christ died so you could have eternal life.

I plead with you not to spurn our precious
Savior or the wrath of God abides upon you. God’s grace and mercy gave His Son
as a precious gift to us so that we might be saved from our sins. “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation…” – (Heb.2:3). Don’t follow these worldly stars.
